<h1 class="topictitle1">Scan file system control</h1>
<div><p>The scan file systems control system value controls the integrated
file system scanning that is enabled when exit programs are registered with
any of the integrated file system scan-related exit points.</p>
<div class="p">This system value works with the scan file systems system value to provide
granular controls on how and what is scanned in the integrated file system.
You can choose the different scanning options and you can select to use default
scan options which provide the following scan controls:<ul><li>Perform write access upgrades </li>
<li>Fail close request if scan fails during close </li>
<li>Scan on next access after object has been restored</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>See <a href="#qscanfsctl__quickref">Table 2</a> for details
on this system value.</p>
<p>Optionally you can select several scan options which control how and what
the registered exit programs will scan. These options are described in following
table:</p>

will skip the failing exit program and treat the object as if it was not scanned
by this exit program.</td>

system will not send a failure indication even though an object failed a scan

is defined with its scan attribute, the object will be scanned after it is
restored. If the object scan attribute indicates that the object will not
be scanned, this option forces a scan after the object is restored. If the
object scan attribute indicates that the object will be scanned if it has
been changed since the last scan, then the object will be scanned after a
restore since the restore operation is considered a change to the object.</td>

<p><strong>Relationship to security policy</strong></p>
<p>Scanning control options provide granular control to using scan-related
exit programs for the integrated file system. For security purposes, you can
use these options to enhance detection of computer viruses and suspicious
programs that may be in your integrated file system when the exit programs
are designed to detect viruses.</p>
